For the handful of you who might actually be wondering why there haven’t been very many new installments of the jackassworld mail lately, the dip is directly proportionate to the decline in viewer mail that has graced our postal box recently. Fortunately for you, I have had time to sit around and hypothesize about the decline since there hasn’t been anything to open and have concocted a few theories. (more…)

Similar to the recent decline in handwritten letters, the days of the mail order catalog are almost long gone. These days, one can go online, price check almost anything in a matter of seconds amongst dozens of online retailers. And, if you are a savvy shopper, you can have it sent to you free of charge. The reason why I mention this is for a shameless plug of our friends The Deadly Syndrome. Stay with me here and you’ll see where I am going with this. (more…)

By the time this posts, it has been almost a month since the last installment of the viewer mail. For those of you who actually look forward to this segment, I will bore you with the details why. Among other things, the hiatus was due in part to the recent extraction of my wisdom teeth, Rick being busier in the editing room since one of our editors took a temporary leave of absence to hang with 50 Cent, the planning of the California “Skate Spot” road trip that will depart Los Angeles next week, and the small task of making sure that Bam, Ryan, Loomis, and Dimitry got safely in and out of China and North Korea on the recent Gumball 3000 rally. (How’s that for a run-on sentence, Cliver?) [ed. Note: It’s actually Carnie that’s copy editing this one and technically that isn’t a run-on sentence because it was just a long list, and it was well executed, keep up the good work Mike, we’re proud of you, you’re doing a great job, treat yourself to some horse fuckin’—that was a run-on sentence.] Basically, production has been ramping up in the jackassworld headquarters, which has put mail responses on the figurative back-burner, as well as the fact that the mail has taken a bit of a spike since I mentioned that we have run out of stickers. Thus, we waited to stockpile some good stuff. (Sorry to Dania that you had to wait so long for us to open your goodies…)

For those of you whom we owe “thank you” responses to (you know who you are since I have contacted most of you personally and apologized for my ineptitude), it looks like it will be another two weeks before you see anything from us since I will be going on the road with some of the boys next week, only to return to be buried in piles of receipts the following week in an attempt to make sense of the ridiculous amount of money we’ll have spent tearing up the California coast during the final week of September. Just know that I have a list and I make good on my promises. That includes you, Greg E. Boy. It also includes Kat Von H all the way in Germany. And, Joanne in the U.K. And, Sam in Texas. And, Amanda for the now infamous ‘Angry String.’

By the way, I am very fond of a new page that popped up in the jackassworld community a couple of weeks ago, “Save A Stamp, Lick Mike G.” The proprietor of the page thinks I hate it, but she (or he—we here at jackassworld are equal opportunity employers) did not hear that from me.

Finally, if anyone in New Jersey knows the address of a girl who is missing her graduation dog, please message me. We appreciate the gesture, but we’d like to return the pooch to its rightful owner. —Mike G.

Hello again everybody. First, I want to congratulate the jackassworld community for reaching 30,000 members! This is very impressive considering that unlike other websites, you do not need to register to enjoy our FREE content. Even so, 30,148 of you have joined our jackass army thus far, and we’re only getting started. (more…)

If you are actually reading this, you have watched the newest installment of the mailbag and you’ll understand why I have chosen to focus my thoughts today on a gentleman by the name of Greg Wolf. Those of you whom are reading this are very familiar with him by now. And, those who don’t frequent our glorious website need to “Get With the Program.” However, it is entirely possible that those oblivious to the existence of jackassworld have potentially watched the bonus features of jackass 2.5 and have seen Mark Hanson’s piece de resistance, “Who Is Greg Wolf?” Even those who have had their heads up their asses for years may remember Greg Wolf from way back in June 2001 when on the very last show of the original jackass series, his cell phone number was given out on the air during the “Wolfie Bikini.” (more…)

So, because I have been busy responding to all of the mail that has come in, and because I am working on a blind deadline due to Sean Cliver’s family schedule, I cannot provide you with a clever blog entry this week.

In fact, I haven’t even seen what Seth has cut, but 90-percent of the office thinks it is hilarious. Let’s see how funny it is when Rick doesn’t have a cameraman for his jackassworld live show next week. That is assuming (using his own words) that he “man’s up” and does one this week.

Thanks to Emma, Joanne, Frazer, Diego, Gretchen, Dr. Jessica Morgan, Brie, and Tera for their showcased mail this week.

You guys rock. And, if I ever get through sorting and organizing the piles of letters here, perhaps you’ll find something in the mail from us.

Welcome to the first R-rated installment of the jackassworld “Male Bag.” But don’t get your hopes up. Madampopoff, in Kent, sent us a goody bag filled with semi-risqué toys, so we felt it was best to put this installment behind the infamous “age gate.” (more…)

Hello again, and thank you to those who are taking the time to read this. We got some sweet stuff in the mail this week, and we thank you guys for continuing to write in and send us fun stuff for the office. (more…)

So, we’re back for the second installment of the mailbag, but before we get into it I would like to quickly mention that we do look at every piece of mail, as well as every community message and comment that comes to us. However, there is a lot going on around these parts and replies take time. (more…)

So, a couple of months back, to coincide with the Internet launch of Big Brother magazine (then slated for April 2008), Cliver and Carnie were adamant about setting up a postal address so our fans in the community could send some letters (not unlike those “Letters to the Editor” sections of most magazines). Dave Carnie was so psyched that he was even going to do a weekly “correspondence” column addressing that week’s mail.

Apparently, back in the day, they would get all kinds of interesting mail, which makes sense, since back in 1992 the public at large wasn’t yet surfing the information super-highway that we have all since become completely entangled in. A very small percentage of the public even knew what BBS’ were, and most people still knew how to use a pen and a stamp. Yet, in the 16 years since, most people have become so dependent on their email and online bill pay that the only thing that people physically mail anymore are wedding invitations and holiday cards. I wonder if kids in elementary school even have true “pen pals” anymore.

Anyhow, since the opening of the floodgates, I have made some community posts pleading for mail, and a few letters have trickled into our offices. I think the guys were slightly under-whelmed by the volume of stuff coming in, but what has come in has been (generally) fantastic. A lot of original art has rolled in, a very nice letter from a juvenile parole officer who had nice things to say, the obligatory requests for autographs, a Canadian solicitation for love, and even a padded envelope full of quarter-machine goodies.

Well, the other day when I came back from the mailbox with our first international package, Rick decided to document it, and this is what happened. (By the way, if I offended Hey-Seuss in Miami, I apologize.)

And, just in case you lost the address, it is:
